There is no room for debate. A child will not resort to taking their own life just because they don’t have social media.

Yes, I do, and that's where we disagree.

This issue cannot be reduced to a simple yes or no. The drawbacks significantly overshadow any potential benefits. The reality of children taking their own lives is far too serious to ignore.

I'm not here to defend Murdoch. My focus is on the children who have tragically lost their lives because of the harmful effects of social media. Recognising the real issue at hand is crucial rather than turning it into a Murdoch/Political argument.

Geesuz, now that's out there. You are just as paranoid as another particular poster on here.

Stick to your "World Socialist Websites", mate, where there is no misinformation. :rolleyes:

Poor form mate. Let's blame Rupert for everything. :rolleyes:

I definitely don't believe that social media should be banned for adults. Everyone has different experiences with it. Personally, I find that social media can sometimes be toxic. I've closed my Facebook and Twitter accounts because these platforms were negatively impacting my mental health. Now...

The world experts on your world socialist website. Lol. I noticed you removed the link from your post. :tearsofjoy:

My social group and generation have successfully navigated life without social media, just as countless other generations have. I'm not saying to ban all social media, but there are apps like Snapchat and TikTok that should be considered prohibited for kids under 16. We'll agree to disagree.

I disagree. I believe that kids today have numerous ways to communicate, thanks to messaging apps and a variety of technologies at their disposal. Individuals younger than 16 are often at greater risk, making them more vulnerable to predators and bullying. It is essential to protect this age...

Social media is toxic, and these kids need to be protected. The government seems to agree with me, and I know many other Australians do, too.

Yeah, it works well, TD. If my nephew wants to download an app to his phone, his parents will get an alert on their phone, and they can either approve the app for download or reject it. He complains to me that most of his friends have Snapchat and that his mum won't let him download it on his...

That is why the government has to try something, and hopefully, as I said, it will save lives and improve the mental health of our kids and youth.

Tell that to the families who have tragically lost their children to bullying on social media. You've got the blinkers on. Just one of many examples below...

My nephew will be in year 8 next year, and he has a school laptop that is pre programmed. I'm fairly certain that the software on the device only permits access to certain websites, excluding social media. Anyway, like I said, I don't see a problem with these laws if they save one innocent life.

Don't the school computers have restrictions, and aren't these apps mostly accessible on a mobile phone?

My 13-year-old nephew can't download TikTok, Snapchat, and other social media apps because his mom has blocked access to those sites. Since his parents are paying for an internet connection, using a VPN might be an issue for him, and to be honest, at 13 years of age, he has no idea what a VPN...

Parents monitoring their child's phone will still be able to receive alerts about new app downloads, so it won't be an issue.

Social media poses serious risks, sometimes leading to tragic outcomes for young teens. Implementing a ban on access for individuals under 16 could greatly reduce these dangers and ultimately save lives. It’s troubling that some individuals here are politicizing this decision made by the...

Bobby Hill?

I'm nervous TD.

I reckon this situation does not look favourable for Kelly. Perhaps Browne wanted to swiftly put this issue behind and concentrate on the footy.

They need to use spell check over at the Herald Sun.
